Abstract
To follow up with the urban renaissance that happen in Saudi Arabia, and as a
part of the vision of 2030 Saudi Arabia need some of that focus that can make it special
to other countries. Therefore, we choose the eastern province to create our project which
is (Design of Post-Tensioned Concrete Bridge at Prince Metib Service Road Intersection
with Railway in Dammam) to be specific, we choose Prince Metib Service Road.
However, this road is service road and it will help the traffic in this place, because this
region is always heavy traffic. Also, there is cross section with train. Because most of the
people use this road to reach the city center. This makes it the perfect spot for this huge
project.
The design will be separated into part depended on the thing that will cover. For the
structural design, we will use (SAP2000) computer software. For the geotechnical part,
we will design the foundation and the piles using appropriate formulas. Where we used
the local Ministry Of Municipal and Rural Affairs (MOMRA) and the American
Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) code. Last but not
least, our design is included into many different design constrains, and rough cost
estimation of the process.

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
1.1. General
Dammam is a major administrative center for the Saudi oil industry. Together with the
nearby cities of Dhahran and Al Khobar, Dammam forms part of the Dammam
Metropolitan Area, which is commonly known as greater Dammam and has an estimated
population of 4,140,000 as of 2012. Dammam and its suburbs form the center of the
Dammam metropolitan area, also known as Greater Dammam, which is closely linked to
the city through social, economic, and cultural ties.
The city is growing at an exceptionally fast rate of 12% a year- the fastest in Saudi
Arabia, the Gulf Cooperation Council, and the Arab world. As of 2016 Greater Dammam
is the 4th largest area in both size and population in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC).
The Dammam metropolitan area and the rest of the Eastern Province are served by the
King Fahd International Airport (KFIA), the largest airport in the world in terms of land
area (approximately 780 km2), about 20 km to the northwest of the city. Dammam's King
Abdul Aziz Sea Port is the largest on the Persian Gulf. Its import-export traffic in is
second only to Jeddah Seaport in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA).

In the seventh chapter, an estimated cost of the project s present. Finally, in the eighth
chapter, it sums up all necessary information.
The bridge is designed using the method of post-tensioning. It is divided into 12 equal
spans, 11 equal piers, 2 abutments, and MCM walls. The bridge consists of 6 girders
carrying 2 traffic lanes each along Prince Metib Road over Railway Line in Dammam,
the Eastern Province of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It has a total length of 300 m between
abutments with equal 25 m spans, a minimum vertical clearance of 7.5 m, and a width of
9 m.

2.1. Introduction
In this chapter we will be discussing various types of bridges design depending on the
known bridges classification. This chapter is also concerned with the essential fragments
of the construction of a box girder bridge.
2.2. Bridge
Bridges are that type of important structure; they are part of the road and serve as a
substitute of the landfills to help us (humans) overcome obstacles such as: rivers, lakes or
any other obstacle. Usually, bridges carries car roads or railways to cross any type of
natural obstacle that is hard to remove or reshaped.

Design of Post-Tenision Concrete Bridge
Normally, bridges can be classified based on the type of the materials that is used in their
superstructure which is built from:
Concrete.
Steel.
Timber.
Accordingly, bridges are named upon the basic material they are made of as: steel
bridges, timber bridges and concrete bridges. Usually, there is a combination of materials
that are used in the construction of these bridges. As an example, a bridge can have a
reinforced concrete deck and steel stringers which is a common combination of material
upon many structures.
Concrete bridges mainly are built of concrete composed of two types which are
prestressed and reinforced concrete. For reinforced concrete bridges, components of
bridges including: deck, stringer and parapets are made of reinforced concrete. On the
other hand, prestressed concrete bridges contain reinforced concrete deck supported by
prestressed concrete beams. Speaking of the middle span bridges, the box girders are
made of prestressed concrete.
Some types of bridge require superstructure that is based on steel to meet the
requirements and the purpose of that building. Good example on these bridges would be
railways and truss. Although some old timber bridges still exist till today, some bridges
still require a steel plate deck.
Today, timber bridges are rarely used in the big constructions. Often, they are used in
parks or any other type of recreational societies. Timber bridges, mainly contain
components are made of timber and other types of wood.
For some applications like defense industries, aircrafts and aerospace, bridges needs to be
made of special materials in order to meet the purpose and the requirements they are built
for. These types of Industries require materials that are high in strength, corrosion
Page 7
Design of Post-Tenision Concrete Bridge
resistant and light as well. Most important, these composite materials don’t show their
full potential till they are mixed properly with steel and concrete.
In the science of bridge engineering, the span length of any bridge is an important factor
to consider before starting the construction process. Therefore, these bridges are
classified upon: long, medium and short span length. Generally speaking, there is no such
general standard upon which span is classified or categorized. Classification of span
length varies upon several organizations practices and standards.
The type of bridges on which engineers consider the maximum load that the bridge could
handle is a midrange car for example; is to be considered a short span bridge. In case of
data absence regarding specifications detail the following can be beneficial:
For a different type of a bridge in which the load of the bridge is characterized by a train
for example; the bridge is to be considered a medium span bridge. In case of the absence
of the specifications, the following details are to be considered helpful:
For the type of bridges that are designed to take a high load, an example on that would
be: a train and 2 direction road for example; it’s required to have a bigger more
complicated type of a structure to take the high load. Truss structured bridges are the ones
to be used in such cases like: sports complex, railways, etc.
Based on engineering perspective, the design of the bridges based on its purpose
classifies the type of bridges. All of which plays an important role at the end on the
analysis and work design has to be done in order to make difference in final outcomes. In
most cases, structural form of a bridge refers to the mechanism of resistance a bridge can
handle.
In a slab stringer bridge, the deck is supported by stringers that are themselves supported
by abutments or on piers span or multiple span bridges. These bridges are usually built
Page 8
Design of Post-Tenision Concrete Bridge
from reinforced concretes. Stringers can be made out of steel, reinforced concrete or
prestressed concrete. The slab stringer system is mostly suitable for short span bridges.
Truss bridge is one of the kinds of bridges, assigned by the structures of the so-called
researcher’s estimate that is arranging the parts in the form of triangles, each of pile
groups of related parts are interdependent of steel or wood. These bridges are composed
of groups of metal structures and metal rods, composed of the most common types of
straight chains of steel bars. Praises bridges cruise quietly along the narrow usually
through mountain valleys, rivers and other major bridge features extended for more than
300 M.
A Rigid Frame Bridge is a bridge in which the superstructure and substructure are rigidly
related to behave as a non-stop unit. Commonly, the shape is forged monolithically,
making the shape non-stop from deck to foundation. The connections between
individuals are inflexible connections which switch bending moment, axial forces, and
shear forces. A bridge layout inclusive of a rigid frame can provide considerable
structural benefits, however can also be tough to layout and/or construct (Wikipedia,
2018).
Arched bridge is one of the oldest types of bridges. It does consist of pillars formed at the
end of the curved arch. These bridges work through the transfer of the weight of the
bridge partially in horizontal direction by the pillars on both sides. Bridges May Be long
arcs or consists of a series of arches. These bridges stand by generated by the Central
Powers because of the arcs of the bridge to all powers to exercise pressure on the central
axis powers. This type of bridges has many forms vary by geographic region, depending
on the nature of the designer engineer who chooses the form of the bridge.
Cable stayed bridge cables is a bridge with a tower or column of one or more supported
the surface through the metal cables. There are two major types of these bridges: The first
is the design of the harp, and the second is the design of the fan. The taut cables of the
bridge is the most modern bridges, consisting of continuous girders along the bridge and
towers, metal cables extends at an angle to link between the bridge and the body of the
Balata camp its towers.Usually the average free length of this type of bridges between
500 to 2800 feet.
Page 9
Design of Post-Tenision Concrete Bridge
The suspension bridge is a type of bridges, which suspends the body of the bridge (the
rack) below comment on vertical suspension cables on the Pillars. It was built the first
modern examples of this type of bridges in the early 19th century simple suspended
bridges, which lacks the pillars comment helicopter has a long history in many
mountainous areas in the world. This type of bridges has outstanding cables between the
towers, as well as vertical cabling carrier carrying a block bridge surface, the cross
traffic. This arrangement allows for the bridge to be supported by body or in the form of
the Arc de Triumphed to the top of the additional clearance. Like other types of bridges,
this type often built without temporary scaffolding. The suspension cables must prove to
the score at the end of each side of the bridge, where all the load on the bridge to a
tension in these main cables. Continue the major cables represent the pillars to support
the level of the surface of the bridge, and continues up to the link with the anchors are
installed in the ground. Support the road through helicopter carrier cables or bars, called
the HANGER. In some circumstances, the towers could be based on the edge of a cliff or
the valley where the road can proceed directly to the main bridge, otherwise, the bridge is
usually installed to two smaller pillars running between the pair of columns or between a
pair of columns and highway, which may be supported by the carrier or cables may be
used aluminum space frame bridge in this regard. In the latter case there will be very little
Arch in the major cables.
Bridges can be classified as well in accordance with their span in respect with the load
this bridge can handle.
Simple span bridges cross from one support to another and can be joined together to
create a longer span. Continuous span bridges cross from one side to the other with one
structural beam truss, or arch. Cantilevered bridges are supported at one end or in the
middle and are often held up by tensile suspension (next, 2018).
The continuous span gives beam bridges the ability to span great distances. A single beam
bridge rarely spans more than 250 feet. But, as in the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel,
several beam bridges can be linked together, creating what is called a continuous span
(pbs, 2011).
Page 10
Design of Post-Tenision Concrete Bridge
In addition to the bridges that are made for highways and railways uses. There are bridges
designed for non- vehicular uses like:
Pedestrians bridges.
Pipeline bridges.
Conveyor bridges.
Solid slab, steel girder, grid, simple beam and slab, multicellular, and Spaced beam and
slab.
All bridges can be divided into 3 main criteria which are superstructure, bearings, and
substructure.
2.11.1. Superstructure
The part of the bridge which transfer the load coming from the carriageway into the
ground.
2.11.2. Bearings
Bearings used in bridge structure could be categorized into 2 groups which are metal and
elastomeric. Both types are usable for different purposes and requirements.
2.11.3. Substructure
It consists of piers and abutment shafts or walls, hammerhead, bed block, pedestals and
bearings and various other components.
A steel girder bridge is a bridge in which the main beams comprise girders in the shape of
a I shape. A girder may be made of concrete or steel. Many shorter bridges, especially in
rural areas where they may be exposed to water overtopping and corrosion, utilize
concrete box beams. The term "girder" is typically used to refer to a steel girder. In a
girder or beam bridge, the giders themselves are the primary support for the deck, and are
responsible for transferring the load down to the foundation. Material type, shape, and
weight all affect how much weight a beam can hold. Due to the properties of inertia, the
Page 11
Design of Post-Tenision Concrete Bridge
height of a girder is the most significant factor to affect its load capacity.(Wikipedia,
2018).
2.13. Bracing
Bracing are structural members positioned transversely between the adjacent girders at
suitable intervals. They are used to provide the lateral distribution of live load at various
adjacent girders.
Page 12
Design of Post-Tenision Concrete Bridge
3.1. Introduction
The under discussion chapter outlines the mathematical and geometric simplifications
required for calculating critical failure stresses due to the extreme conditions that may
develop in a bridge.
The following strategy was adopted for the completion of the project.
The depth of the girder is assumed by using the empirical formulas established in codes.
From AASHTO we have taken the dead loads and live loads factors. Moving load has
taken from Ministry of Municipality and Rural Affairs (MOMRA) code.
After assigning the loads, the analysis and design of steel girder bridge components is
performed by using specific formula, for complex analysis finite element civil
engineering software like SAP2000 and CSI Bridge are used and then analysis results are
used to design the element manually.
The super structure includes the deck slab, girder and the bearings which are described as
follows:
Page 13
Design of Post-Tenision Concrete Bridge
There are different methods, which can be used for the analysis. All the methods have
their own advantages and limitations. SAP2000 is used for the analysis of deck slab by
developing the 3D model.
By using empirical equation as per AASHTO and MOMRA design of deck slab is made
manually. The results obtained from SAP2000 analysis are used in design.
3.3.2. Girder
For girder, line element is used for the analysis of the dead load (self-weight) and
standard truck-train loading, but 3D model is generated for the analysis of sundries. The
model is analyzed by using CSI Bridge software.
3.3.3. Bearings
Bearings used in bridge structure could be categorized into two groups: metal and
elastomeric. Metal bearings sometimes become inoperable, due to corrosion, mechanical
binding, buildup of debris, or alignment of members. The most widely used structural
bearings are reinforced elastomeric bearings and pot bearings.
Every project has its own constraints. In our case, we have 4 main constraints to
overcome. First, durability, in which our bridge should be designed for a period not less
than 50 years, the range shoulde be between 50 years and 75 years. Second, economic
constraint, in which we should take under consideration the inflation that might happen
which might affect concrete and steel prices. Also, we should estimate the cost of the
project and compare it with steel bridge. Third, constructability, our bridge must be easily
to assemble without affecting the traffic, we managed that by precasting. Finally, safety,
several safety factors and precautions were taken into account in designing process.

System Design
5.1. Introduction
This chapter is specified to describe the site and laboratory investigation, soil report and
ground profile of the site of the bridge. All information are gathered in order to design the
foundation system for different components of the bridge. Also, the foundation system
design will be covered in this chapter.
According to the laboratory report, it was found that there are two different soil profiles
in our site. After digging few boreholes in the site, it was found that the right side of the
railway (section A in figure 5.1) has the rock on 3 m below ground. On the other hand, it
was found that the left side of the railway (section B in figure 5.1) has the rock on 4.5 m
below ground. The best way to fix this problem is to excavate the 4.5 m from section B
and compact it with granular soil of 1.5 m I order to have similar soil profile throughout
the whole site.

SAP2000 stands for Structural Analysis Program 2000. This program has a wide
selection of features that can be used for both simple and complex projects. It is mainly a
civil-engineering software which is appropriate for the design and analysis of engineering
works. Its basic and advanced functions can be applied on industrial, transport, public
works and other projects. The engineering works and processes can be made easier by
using the practical object-based modeling context of SAP2000. SAP2000 has been
considered as the most productive and pragmatic program for general purposed
structures. Including small regular tasks of engineering, SAP2000 can be the key power
to all the design and analysis tasks.
SAP2000 is unified with a significant user interface that includes an extensive variety of
design and analysis options. This interface allows generate structural models with
immediate apprehension and it eliminates curve delays for a rapid process. With
advanced analytical strategy, SAP2000 provides step by step procedures. The factors of
the user interface include:
Units
Templates
Objects and elements
Grid systems
Properties
Loading
Analysis
Load combinations
Design
Output and display
Page 52
Design of Post-Tenision Concrete Bridge
6.2.1 Units
SAP2000 works with several units. The units used to start a new model become the basic
units for that model. Every material dimension and constant is defined as compatible with
the basic units. Newton and Kip are used to define Force, millimeter and inches are used
for length. Time is measured in seconds and Mass is used only to calculate accelerating
objects for loads. Like others force loads weight also can be applied to the load. For
angular measurements like geometry, Degree is used for measurement. Hertz (Hz) is used
for frequency measurement or in cycles/second.
6.2.2 Templates
SAP2000 has a variety of templates for quick start new model. Parametric templates are
used for 3D frames, 3D trusses, storage vessels, simple beams, staircases, pipes and dam
structures. A great choice of templates can boost up the overall modeling process in many
cases. There are also many other options available according to the structure type.
There are four types of objects and some are subdivided into various types. To define a
model of the physical structural members and loads to the objects any geometrical figure
can be drawn by assigning properties. The main objects are:
Point objects: subdivided into two as Joint objects and Grounded link objects.
Joints objects are created automatically and can be added in a definitive way.
Grounded link objects accelerate support behaviors like gaps, isolators, multi-
linear springs, dampers and others.
Line objects: subdivided into two as Frame objects and the Connecting link
objects. To model columns, trusses, braces and beams Frame cable objects are
used. Having zero length facility the Connecting link objects are used to model
gaps, isolators, multi-linear springs, dampers and others.
Solid objects: Used to model 3D solids.
Area objects: Used to model 2D solids and thin-walled members.
There is no limit of grid systems in a model and the grids can be rotated in any direction
within the model or can be placed within. SAP2000 is enhanced with a 3D, right-handed
and Cartesian coordinate system. Every grid can be a general, cylindrical and rectangular
type. To locate objects in the model a 3D grid system with construction lines can be
defined. The right-handed rule is the three axes that are denoted by X, Y, and Z. Being
mutually perpendicular the direction of +Z is considered upward and gravity implied by –
Z direction globally.
Page 53
Design of Post-Tenision Concrete Bridge
6.2.5. Properties
A model may have CONCRETE, RECT, CIRC and SLAB properties. CONCRETE is a
material property and can be automatically applied to the object. RECT is a rectangular
frame section property, a circular section is called CIRC and area section is SLAB.
To decide the structural behavior of objects in the model these properties are assigned.
6.2.6. Loading
SAP2000 spontaneously generates and applies wind loads based on various domestic and
international codes. It owns a moving load generator that allows users to move loads to
lanes on shell and frame elements.
The wave loading feature of SAP2000 generates the loading on the structures that result
from current flow, waves, wind, and buoyancy. Static linear loading can be generated
with multiple steps to stimulate the wane moving through the structure. Moreover, the
dynamic loading is to include inertial effects as the wave moves through the structure.
User loads are defined to model a wide array of loading conditions with SAP2000 built-in
user loading options.
6.2.7. Analysis
The analysis is the method for applying loads to the structure and to calculate the
structural responses. There are several types of analysis like Static, Dynamic, Buckling,
P-Delta, and Pushover.
SAP2000 can operate both multi-step static and linear static analysis. The abilities of
dynamic analysis include the calculation of vibration using Ritz or Eigen. Linear
buckling modes of a structure stay under the set of loads.
The soft effect of compression and harshening effect of tension are captured by P-Delta
analysis.
The Pushover analysis performs the execution of FEMA-356 and the hinge option based
on stress-strain is also included.
There are several types of load combination. They include linear addictive, envelope,
absolute add, SRSS, and range combinations.
Linear addictive: It adds the result from the included combos and cases
Envelope: To find the maximum and minimum values envelope combination is
responsible to add the results.
Page 54
Design of Post-Tenision Concrete Bridge
SRSS: This type computes the square root of the sum of the squares of the
analysis cases and combos.
The design of the model is not directly based on analysis rather on combinations. For
design and other purposes, additional combinations can be created.
6.2.9. Design
There are some settings to affect the design of a specific model. In those sections where
the properties are based on the materials of steel, concrete, or aluminum the design
features can be used on frame objects. Two frames are explained in brief:
Steel frame: For the member size optimization and implementation of design
codes steel frame can be used. The program allows the users to view the design
results through any frame.
Concrete frame: The concrete frame design includes auto select lists for member
sizing, the area of steel calculations, overwriting capacity, and interactive design.
There are plenty of options in this feature to display sets, views, formats, and function
plots of the model. It is easy for users to display the deformed geometry based on
combinations of loads and mode animation.
The force diagrams display the internal shear moments, forces, and dislocations at any
locations of a frame element. The option to scroll along the way to display values to the
maximum and minimum value location is provided in SAP2000
The other type is the Virtual Work Diagrams. It can be used to determine the elements
that need to be hardened to get the most efficient control of the structure.
Cost Estimation
Page 55
Design of Post-Tenision Concrete Bridge
7.1. Introduction:
Cost estimating is the practice of forecasting the cost of completing a project with a
defined scope. It is the primary element of project cost management, a knowledge area
that involves planning, monitoring, and controlling a project’s monetary costs. An
accurate cost estimate is critical for deciding whether to take on a project, for determining
a project’s eventual scope, and for ensuring that projects remain financially feasible and
avoid cost overruns. In addition, a cost estimate is more than a simple list of costs,
however: it also outlines the assumptions underlying each cost. These assumptions (along
with estimates of cost accuracy) are compiled into a report called the basis of estimate,
which also details cost exclusions and inclusions. The basis of estimate report allows
project stakeholders to interpret project costs and to understand how and where actual
costs might differ from approximated costs.
Beyond the broad classifications of costs, project expenses fall into more specific
categories. Common types of expenses include:
4- Contingency costs: Costs added to the project budget to address specific risks.
1- Quantities of work
2- Productivity, weather and strikes, markup and profit, market conditions and
contingency, etc.
4- R.S, which means sell a good quality data to owner, contractor, designer and
consultant.
Professional estimators use defined techniques to create cost estimates that are used to
assess the financial feasibility of projects, to budget for project costs, and to monitor
project spending.
Page 56
Design of Post-Tenision Concrete Bridge
There are four commonly used techniques for cost estimation that most of professional
estimators use:
1- Expert judgment
2- Analogous estimating
3- Parametric estimating
4- Bottom-up estimating
Is used extensively during the generation of cost estimates. Cost estimators have to make
numerous assumptions and judgments about what they think a new product will cost.
However, the use of Expert judgment is often frowned upon, not well accepted or
understood by non-cost estimators within a concurrent engineering environment.
Uses a similar past project to estimate the duration or cost of your current project, thus
the root of the word: analogy. Used when there is limited information regarding your
current project, an analogous estimate is considered “top-down” and is generally not as
accurate as other estimating techniques. Furthermore, because the project manager’s, and
possibly the teams, experience and judgments are applied to the estimating process, it is
considered a combination of historical information and expert judgment.
A more accurate technique for estimating cost and duration uses the relationship between
variables to calculate the cost or duration. However, essentially a parametric estimate is
determined by identifying the unit cost or duration and the number of units required for
the project or activity. The measurement must be scalable in order to be accurate. In
Addition, parametric estimating is more similarly to analogous estimating, parametric
estimation uses historical data to calculate cost estimates.
Is a technique that also known as the “definitive technique”. This estimation technique is
the most accurate, time-consuming, and costly technique for estimating the cost of a
Page 57
Design of Post-Tenision Concrete Bridge
project. In this technique, the cost of each single activity is determined with the greatest
level of detail at the bottom level and then rolls up to calculate the total project cost.

Conclusion
Page 61
Design of Post-Tenision Concrete Bridge
Although the low tensile strength of reinforced concrete means that it has certain
post tensioning the concrete to eliminate cracking, reduce the deflections, increase shear
magnitude into a structural member to improve its behavior. Since the behavior of
tensioning is used to introduce compression into regions where tension stresses will be
In conclusion, the main objective of this project was to analyze and design a
simply supported bridge by the use of post-tensioned concrete. As a start, the bridge was
manually designed (Hand Calculations) for the concrete tee girders, following both the
ASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications and MOMRA Design Manual. Then, the
SAAP 2000 software was used to complete the design as a whole for the concrete tee
girders that were manually calculated. The foundation system was designed according to
the geotechnical report that was obtained. Moreover, the process of cost estimation was
calculated and done precisely to have an idea of the cost of the project compared to a
steel bridge.

Dead Loads:
Dead load shall include the weight of all components of the structure, appurtenances and
utilities attached thereto, earth cover, wearing surface, future overlays, and planned
widening. In the absence of more precise information, the densities, specified in Table
3.4, may be used for dead loads.
Table 3.4 provides traditional densities. The density of granular materials depends upon
the degree of compaction and water content. The density of concrete is primarily affected
by the density of the aggregate, which varies by geological location and increases with
concrete compressive strength. The density of reinforced concrete is generally taken as
72 kg/m3 greater than the density of plain concrete. The values provided for wood
include the mass of mandatory preservatives. The mass of transit rails, etc., is to be used
only for preliminary design. Densities shown with the units kg/m3 and kg/mm are in
mass units, not force units. To convert to force units of N/m3 multiply by the gravitation
at constant g = 9.8066 m/sec2 and collect the units kgm/sec2 as a Newton.

VB, of 160 km/hr. Wind load shall be assumed to be uniformly distributed on the area
exposed to the wind. The exposed area shall be the sum of areas of all components,
including floor system and railing, as seen in elevation taken perpendicular to the
assumed wind direction. This direction shall be varied to determine the extreme force
effect in the structure or in its components. Areas that do not contribute to the extreme
force effect under consideration may be neglected in the analysis. For bridges or parts of
bridges more than 10 m above low ground or water level, the design wind velocity, VDZ,
should be adjusted according to:
𝑉10 𝑍
𝑉𝐷𝑍 = 2.5𝑉0 ( ) ln ( )
𝑉𝐵 𝑍0
Basic Wind Speed charts available in ASCE 7-88 for various recurrence intervals,
Site-specific wind surveys, and in the absence of better criterion, the assumption
that V10 = VB = 160 km/hr.

EARTHQUAKE EFFECTS: EQ
General:
Earthquake loads are given by the product of the elastic seismic response coefficient
Csmand the equivalent weight of the superstructure. The equivalent weight is a function
of the actual weight and bridge configuration and is automatically included in both the
single-mode and multimode methods of analysis specified in Article 4.7.4. Design and
detailing provisions for bridges to minimize their susceptibility to damage from
earthquakes are contained in Section 3, Section 4, Section 5, Section 6, Section 8, and
Section 9. Bridges shall be designed to have a low probability of collapse but may suffer
significant damage and disruption to service when subject to earthquake ground motions
that have a 2% probability of exceedance in 50 years. Partial or complete replacement
may be required. Higher levels of performance may be used with the authorization of the
bridge owner.

Small to moderate earthquakes should be resisted within the elastic range of the
structural components without significant damage.
Realistic seismic ground motion intensities and forces should be used in the
design procedures; and
Exposure to shaking from large earthquakes should not cause collapse of all or
part of the bridge. Where possible, damage that does occur should be readily
detectable and accessible for inspection and repair.

Seismic Hazard:
The seismic hazard at a bridge site shall be characterized by the acceleration response
spectrum for the site and the site factors for the relevant site class. The acceleration
spectrum shall be determined using either the General Procedure specified in Article
3.9.2.1 or the Site Specific Procedure specified in Article 3.9.2.2.
A Site-Specific Procedure shall be used if any one of the following conditions exists:
General Procedure
The General Procedure shall use the short and long period spectral acceleration
coefficients (SS and S1 respectively) to calculate the spectrum as specified in Article
3.9.4. Values of SS, S1 shall be determined from either Figure 3.5 to Figure 3.21 as
appropriate, or from region ground motion maps approved by the owner. Linear
interpolation shall be used for sites located between contour lines or between a
contour line and a local maximum or minimum. The effect of site class on the seismic
hazard shall be as specified in Article 3.9.3.

In the absence of other criteria, the following deflection limits may be considered for
steel or concrete construction:
For steel I-shaped beams and girders, and for steel box and tub girders, the provisions of
Articles 6.10.4.2 and 6.11.4, respectively, regarding the control of permanent deflections
through flange stress controls, shall apply. The following provisions shall apply to
orthotropic plate decks:
When the specified minimum yield strength of the girder is 485 MPa or less in
regions of negative flexure, or
When hybrid sections satisfying the provisions of Article 6.10.1.3 are used in
regions of negative flexure.

Meeting daily, to talk and continue the tasks that we have to do together
1 meeting a week with the advisors to assess our performance.
Selecting an adequate structural system that satisfies all architectural and safety
requirements in addition to keeping feasibility and cost in the reasonable range. In
order to overcome this challenge, we performed several investigations regarding
different structural members. We selected one-way solid slab because this can be
an adequate design for the project due the large slab spans
Selecting foundation system is also one of the challenges we faced. The required
area of isolated footing was more than fifty percent. We decided to use piled-raft
foundation even though it is costly.
